(March 06, 2012)

ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/06/12 --

What:Ci&T, a Nearshore provider of value-driven web and mobile application services and software product engineering, today announced that it will host an executive seminar, "The Future of Software Development Requires an Anti-Factory Model," on Thursday, March 22, 2012 in Atlanta. Featuring a presentation by Dave West, vice president and research director at Forrester Research, this seminar will examine how IT has become both vital and ubiquitous -- a direct response to innovation in the marketplace, forcing the evolution beyond the traditional "factory" approach to software development.

Today, almost everyone has access to technology and users no longer conform to a single stereotype. There are thousands of different personas and the "software factory" approach to software development no longer fits the needs of today's diverse IT customers. In his presentation, Dave West will discuss the need to focus on business objectives when delivering software, and how Lean thinking, Agile methods and continuous delivery can be utilized together to deliver superior customer value at market speed.

Attendees can expect to learn what software delivery will look like in the year 2020, what challenges they will face in reaching for this paradigm and how the industry game-changers, mobile, cloud and Platform-as-a-Service, are driving this evolution.

Who:Dave West, vice president and research director at Forrester Research, will present at "The Future of Software Development Requires an Anti-Factory Model" seminar. West is a leading expert on software development processes, Agile development and Lean thinking.
